Hope Floats

Frail hearts’ bond fractures
Hope’s glacier slips ‘neath cold sea
Chilled memories drift away
Frozen dreams sever
Forever vows abandoned
Titanic phenomenon

Healing ebbs and flows
Suicidal solitude
Hope struggles, floats to surface
Yes, the sun still shines
Hold close faith’s life preserver
Live to welcome love again

Faith is a powerful life preserver and fractures are healed with time....This is a great analogy with reference to glaciers..I feel coolness and almost like drowning at the beginning....at the end I feel an end to hopeless despair. Thanks for sharing this inspiring entry. You will do very well. I am sure of it. Also, thanks for spending so much time and energy on an entry for the Tongue Twister Challenge. It has been way too much fun reading the anonymous entries. Gwendolen
